The IP offers you an exciting and unparalleled international networking opportunity. On top of that, students can earn 7,5 ECTS after successfully completing the three week programme (including a creative practical assignment and writing a short essay). And best of all, there will be (a limited number of) travel grants available for participants from partner universities outside the Netherlands.
